Its been ages since I’ve posted here, but! I’m doing NaNoWriMo this year, if anyone wants to be buddies on the site!

This is insane

Video Transcription from user @/lelegenevieve on TikTok: “If you’ve been supporting the Black Lives Matter movement or are looking for ways to support, please stop scrolling and signal boost this video. I’ve been coding—pretty tirelessly—everyday for my website pb-resources.com. It’s an education tool and resource I’ve been using to compile information to fight police brutality and white supremacy. There are calls to action, educational tools, and different places to donate. Today I added this section that allows you to input your information and send automated emails; and everything is filled out for you. It was also really important that for me to adds way to support the Black trans community. And in a few days, the website will be generating ad revenue and 100% of the proceeds will be donated; so all you have to do is visit the site to support BLM. Lastly, I’ve been asking you guys to follow me on Instagram (@/alexisdenisew) so I can hit 10k and get the swipe up update and I’m almost there. So if you haven’t already, go follow.”

If anyone with experience with audio transcription formatting would like to repost this with a better transcript, please do, my experience is limited.

As of today, June 16th, 2020, Alexis is at 11K followers on Instagram and has the swipe up feature, but please continue to share this website!

The Mayans had mastered water pressure and had fountains and toilets as early as 750 AD. Aztecs had running water and sewage.

The Victorians In the mid-1800s were dying of cholera because they just dumped their raw shit in the river Thames. They wouldn’t shower for months at a time because they were afraid of the polluted water.

John Boyega deserved Better

So, let’s give some context to those who are not aware of what John Boyega has gone through since being cast in Star Wars so many years ago.

And feel free to add anything I miss.

After being cast in The Force Awakens, there had been a large backlash and a call to Boycott Episode VII

Then after The Force Awakens, John had to deal with toxic fans constantly claiming he was not the Male Lead of the Sequel Trilogy over and over again even though that went against what he was told by The Force Awakens director JJ Abrams when he was cast and what TFA clearly setup.

Finn’s character would then be erased and sidelined in the sequel to TFA, The Last Jedi, much to the celebration of certain fans who claimed it was better that Finn not be in the main conflict of the trilogy.

During this time, John would still be routinely harassed by the bigots who were against his casting as well as people going to his social media accounts to verbally attack him.

Then we having the shipping community…which I will not go too deeply into this beyond the fact that one group of shippers have made John Boyega’s life a living hell, even demanding that Disney blacklists him from ever getting work and influencers in that community sending their followers after Boyega. Then we have another group of shippers who legitimately accused John of queerbaiting on multiple occasions through the years.

Then there was the backlash John Boyega received when he had said that his character Finn and Kelly Marie Tran’s character deserved better in The Last Jedi and that the movie was not for him. Citing that as a Black man playing a Black character, being removed from the central conflict of the trilogy was something he creatively disagreed with. This had earned him the hate of fans of The Last Jedi to large degrees that spread from SW influencers to actors and critics that were close with the director of TLJ.

Then John had been falsely accused of bullying Kelly Marie Tran and once again a group in the Star Wars community went again him.

Then, after months of re-shoots. re-writes and multiple story changes on the final film of the Skywalker saga, The Rise of Skywalker, John Boyega gave his honest thoughts on a creative choice in the film he disagreed with. That earned him the most harassment from the same community who went after him with false claims of bullying Kelly Marie Tran and that he wasn’t the male lead of the trilogy.

And finally, after giving his support to the Black Lives Matter cause, John had been attacked once again by toxic Star Wars fans who either claimed HE was being racist against white people or that fighting for BLM didn’t earn him “Redemption” for the false things they accused him of.

John Boyega has endured nothing but constant attacks for years and has gotten almost next to no support from the online community in the way that he should.

The man has fought against racism, fought for his own place in the film industry, and even started his own production company to give people who never had a shot a chance.

If there is one thing John Boyega is, he is a hero. And if he is anything else, then he’s a role model.

REBLOG THIS SO EVERYONE KNOWS:

JOHN BOYEGA DESERVED BETTER

No marriage required.

I think the thing that saddens me the most about this fandom is the constant complaining. Not to say it's not valid, but like, I've been following this hell fire for the past five years, and I would just like to share some wisdom with you; you aren't going to enjoy the show, unless you accept it for what it is.

The show has never been reliable concerning release dates/special events, if we know anything about Jeremy Zag, it's that he's a business man, so most of the money that this show is making is probably going towards merch and advertisements, and if I've noticed anything, it's that between hiatuses, there's an explosion of merch, then a leak, followed by a coincidental pushed back release date for the next season. This has not changed in the past five years.

It is also kind of important to realize that these kids are 14 years old, they're gonna make mistakes, and honestly we should give Thomas Astruc props, not only does he let these kids make mistakes, but he also demonstrates that these mistakes are redeemable, and with that shows kids (of which this show is targeted towards) that mistakes are a chance to learn, as seen within the relationship between Marinette and Tikki. Not only that, but we also see the negative effects of not making mistakes. Like with Adrien for example, he's afraid to make mistakes because of the expectations put onto him by his father, and thus only being able to free himself as chat noir, creating a disconnect between him and his superhero per(fur)sona, the only time he's able to make mistakes. Because of this, he's not accustom to healthy conflict and has an unhealthy way of dealing with his negative emotions. Getting passive aggressive towards ladybug, unrealistic expectations towards ladybug, not being able to form boundaries with Chloe, or lila, or his dad, literally destroying the moon, etc. none of which being his own fault, and I recommend seeing this as part of Adrien's character development.

While we were all disappointed by the fact that Chloe never got a redemption arc, (instead it seems like it was totally taken away from her) we do need to realise that Chloe has hurt a lot of people, and she has to earn her redemption by not only healing herself, but also healing her relationship with others. Simply giving her a miraculous and saying "have at er", making her a hero by default, would negate any substantial growth that needs to happen, it would be too easy for the wrong reasons. Chloe needed a reality check, she needed to be humbled so that she can rebuild herself, that is what character development means, that's a redemption arc, it's developing yourself for what you need in life, rather than what you want in life.

Anyways, what I'm trying to say is, trust the process, even if it might be taking a little longer than we hoped. Simply put, we all, for the most part, started watching this show for the sole purpose of entertainment. Let's all ride this wave as it comes, there's two more seasons, (which have 26 episodes each), let's see what happens.

(P.s. content creators, such as ff writers, artists, etc. I see you, I love you, I would literally die for you, y'all are the only reason I still keep up w the fandom. Blessed be.)

being a self-taught artist with no formal training is having done art seriously since you were a young teenager and only finding out that you’re supposed to do warm up sketches every time you’re about to work on serious art when you’re fuckin twenty-five

Scientists invented fabric that makes electricity from motion and sunlight. To create the fabric, researchers at Georgia Tech wove together solar cell fibers with materials that generate power from movement. It could be used in “tents, curtains, or wearable garments,” meaning we’d virtually never be without power. Source

the switch from ‘a girl worth fighting for’ to coming upon the decimated village in mulan is THE MOST kick-in-the-teeth mood change IN ALL OF CINEMA
